“It wasn’t a fair fight, considering no one wanted to hurt a pregnant luna. I will apologize when I see them.” I laughed at her words and shook my head.
“Remind me to give them a bonus,” I called out before I walked over to Diego. “Did you lose anyone?” I asked him as I helped him turn over a grain trailer.
“We had a couple of close calls, and injuries are being tended to,but no loss.”
“How did he know where to find us? No one knows where we are but my gamma and he would die before betraying us.”
“I can answer that, Alpha,” Evergreen came out of the pack house sporting a black eye. Celeste’s doing, I was sure.
“How?” I asked.
“Luna mentioned the Blood Moon luna talking about a deal with someone named Helios. She believed it to be Huitzilopochtli. I contacted the pack a few minutes ago. Danny confirmed you should have an email from the council explaining they found Luna Luisa‘s body in no man’s land. She had been dead for about a week. Her body looked to have been hit by lightning.” He pointed over to the scorch mark Huitzilopochtli’s staff left, and I could see lightning pattern spreading outward in the rock. “He may have been watching the pack after extracting the information and saw us leave.”
“What about Sandra?” I asked.
“There were signs of a struggle, but no body. They believe her to have escaped or been taken with the assailant,” he said.
“Of course. Thank you,” I said, sighing and turning back to the task at hand.
“Alpha?” Evergreen called back to me.
“Yes?” I turned back at him.
“Gabriel could use a talk. He’s not very happy he got overpowered by his luna. He was talking about failing to protect her while he was trying to open the record room door. Luna melted the handles and brackets on the door to lock us in.”
I sighed and nodded.
“Thank you, Evergreen. I’ll be sure to talk to him.”
“Just so you know, I am not ashamed of being beaten by our luna. I think she's pretty badass. In fact, I’m going to try to milk this for some brownies when we get back, but the man takes his job pretty seriously,” he said as he turned back. “If you are both okay with it, I’m going back to scanning. I would like to be done before we head home.”
I looked at Diego, who nodded.
“Yes, that’s a priority. We’ve got the cleanup,” he assured Evergreen.
“So, my cousin,” Diego started as we continued to upturn farming equipment. “She’s got more than one ability?”
“Yes. Her fire ability only started after she met me,” I grunted as we worked.
“Does she have any more?” he asked. I was tempted to tell him about the healing, but since it wasn’t hers, I just shook my head.
“Just the two, as far as we know.”
“Whatever you guys need. I hope you know our packs are bound by blood. You need only call, and we will show up,” he said, looking me in the eye so I could see the sincerity shining through them.
“Thank you. The same goes for you. If he comes back, just give us a call, and we’ll bring the backup.”
After working for about fifteen minutes, he looked at the destroyed crops and nodded. “Let’s go check on the wounded. Nothing to be done about the crops. Things will grow back.”
“If you need any help at all to replace them. We can help.”
“It wasn’t much. A couple less tortillas a meal, and we’re back on track.” he joked as we headed towards the makeshift area.
I walked toward Celeste, who was cleaning a wound. As soon as we got near, her head went up, and she turned our way, a giant dazzling smile forming on her gorgeous face when she saw me. Mrs.Rodriguez took over cleaning the wound while she whispered something to Celeste, who laughed and walked over to me.
“What’s so funny?” I asked as I pulled her close and kissed her.
“Oh, nothing,” she answered mischievously.
